I'm not seeing that under the options, but F8 did hide the "featured content" tab, though the ads (top bar and bottom-left) are still there.
It may have a bright future, but right now it's only providing a decentralized search, the actual transfer of files still retrieves IP addresses. It's also currently lacking encryption support, so those on torrent clients that have their connection set to encrypted traffic only will not communicate with you.I've never had a problem with uTorrent. They added advertisements, but they can be disabled by unchecking "Show Plus Information" and by going into Advanced Settings, searching "sponsored" and setting it to "false."
However, Tribler might have a bright future.
That's only for uTorrent plus, the option is easily accessable in the options pane as "Show Plus Information":Ah, it was referred to as "upsell". XD Alright, ads gone, yay.
This was also my suspicion. As far as I'm aware, uTorrent has never done what Rydian suggested. If it did, then I'm not sure what I would switch to.I know very little about this kind of stuff (not saying I have never used uTorrent in my life), so I may be wrong, but I suspect that the file deletion was caused by another program you had installed, probably an AV one.
First an offer to install the uTorrent Browser Bar, to make uTorrent Web Search the default search provider and set all browser homepages to uTorrent Web Search, and second a third party offer to install another software on the system.
I'm looking for a new torrent client.
Advanced features (WebUI, etc.) not required. I just need a torrent client that's up-to-date (can handle DHT and other such modern connection features) and can download what I tell it to (fuck you uTorrent), and not download what I tell it to ignore (tired of waiting for Deluge to fix the issue).
- Why not BT? - It sold out ages ago.
- Why not uTorrent? - Same thing. Nowadays it "filters" "unwanted" material (i.e. deletes recognized pirated content after it's downloaded).
- Why not Deluge? - Deluge doesn't understand the concept of "do not download". I downloaded a discography, and I had marked entire folders as "do not download" (as I did not want those albums) when loading up the .torrent file. Even though they were marked, a lot of the data was still downloaded. I'm talking an entire 6 songs out of a 22-disc album were downloaded in their entirety even though they were marked "do not download". This wastes bandwidth, as well as requires me to go manually trim out a lot of crap, including unfinished/corrupt files that it started downloading and then stopped before they were done. This is obviously incorrect behavior but the client has
- Why not (250MB RAM usage Java client)? - I'm looking for a torrent client, not a huge software suite that just happens to do torrents as well.
It doesn't, you can ignore that.Wait what? What do you mean??
